She looked at Xu Xiaoya. "Xiaoya, you decide."
Xu Xiaoya was surprised.
"I'm about to leave for South Country," Yan Xixi explained.
"Didn't you say you were going in August?" Xu Xiaoya asked, startled. "Why are you going so soon?"
"It's not that early anymore. I figure it's fine to go a bit sooner. After all, it's an unfamiliar place, so it's better to go early and adapt."
"Are you going alone?"
Yan Xixi smiled. "I'm going to study, not for anything else. Do I need a crowd to go with me?"
"Won't Wan Donglin accompany you?"
Xu Xiaoya immediately grew anxious. "Xixi, you've never been out of the country before. You can't go to such a faraway place all by yourself. You should let Wan Donglin take you..."
Yan Xixi dismissed it casually. "You're underestimating me. Do I need an escort just to go study? In this day and age, are you really worried I'll get lost? Alright. I need to prepare my luggage for departure these next few days. The store will be entirely up to you."
